He enters the charts this weekend March 10th at no 1 in Holland. Has never happened before with a Eurovision song here. Hype has begun. 🎉

[@mariellem909]

And also in belgium nr 1 in the charts😅😅

[@huuskeatadogan4631]

A hype is temporary, i hope it makes it on time

[@nikedoesthings]

I'm Dutch and Frysian, the song grew on me, I didn't know Joost until a week ago. Love what he has made for Eurovision, happy hardcore and the tribute to the 90's gabberculture and his father are commendable. We don't have to win, the way this song is blowing up is enough for me to be happy and proud ❤

[@Skade_Outdoor]

He even is from Leeuwarden and a big Cambuur fan haha

[@dearmakeupdiary]

I just cry for everything too. Fun fact I just cried by seeing you crying 😢 anyhow I think Joost is amazing and imo he was the absolute winner this year🥰

[@carolasmit2387]

I cry everytime I see the end, and I have seen it at least 100 times...

[@BluePointOpleidingen]

This is is not only music, this is art. So many double messages. It makes me happy, gives me energy and makes me sad as wel. How is that posible. Respect

[@TheNixie1972]

In think you mean messages, not massages (I know, Dutch autocorrect).

[@laserspewpew_7175]

12pts from Australia! this is my favourite this year. Will be very popular on the televote

[@Fastbikkel]

You have emotions, you are human. No shame in this. Great reaction video.

[@sara-oc2kf]

This is the best reaction to this song I've seen so far. You're well prepared; you know who Joost is, the story behind the song and you see details. Genuine reaction. Thank you!

[@SamarArons]

Love your tears at the ending, I cry a bit every time I see it. Makes me so happy, makes me so sad, but sad out of love. Genius. We need this in Europe. Also for the European elections in June 2024..! Come together, right now, over me...

[@SuperDutchjohn]

It is already a worldwide hit, not important if he wins!

[@martinnijs8317]

I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What ever happens HE WON ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!kiss from Belgium xx

[@realtalk675]

Love from croatia 🇭🇷 i love this track and he really deserves to win . Its funny and personal i even cried at the end. And the happy hardcore made me even more happy . Go netherlands !!!!

[@Dano-ph5xl]

Im Dutch and honestly I love the Croatian song too. Saw the clip yesterday and normally I dont like that kind of music, but the song is just lit

[@barbarabreunis7788]

I love the Croatian song too!! I have it on my playlist. Europapa is not on my playlist, because I'm Dutch, so I will hear it non stop anyway.

[@gizmodreamer5966]

Wow thank you for your sweet comment, much love to you and Croatia ❤

[@maartenj.vermeulen900]

Croatia and The Netherlands got robbed by EBU. Ridiculous.

[@drAgonheart580]

You can travel freely in a Europe w/o borders but the pain of the loss of loved ones travels with you. Follow your dreams and make the ones you love proud. Carry the memories with you but also their lessons. Joost is no joke he is a survivor right through the pain to party on the eurovision stage.

[@therealdevilsangel]

The outro hits nearly as hard as Florida 2009. Always breaks my heart. If he doesn't officially win Eurovision, he's already "the people's champ" ❤️🙌🏻

[@TheDutchWWEfan]

He was not that big in NL, more in Germany, Swiss but now he is in NL to because the song is so genius and deep.....respect for the creative mindset of those that make this song. Who would think of to refer to stromae papaoutai what means Dad were are you......its so deep, respect!

[@jeskevrenken5842]

Please never apologise for feeling and showing your emotions. It's beautiful and pure

[@johannesnicolaas]

It is a very clever song, multi layered... For one it is nostalgic for the 90s scene and music (Gabber!). But underneath it has a longing for his dead parents. Father died when he was 12, mother at 13. So quite a sad part of his live. So when he sings about pain in his live, it is connected to this fact. He loved to watch ESF with his parents.

[@SyuziHovsepyan-ur7sx]

The same emotions I had when I saw the end of the video, during the song clip I was dancing like crazy, but in the end I was just sitting and crying , it’s so touching and heartbreaking 😔💔thank you for your sweet reaction ❤he was disqualified, but he is anyway the best, I love him from Armenia❤❤❤ 🇦🇲

[@hyperion5091]

Such a kind and recognizable reaction I love the track and it really grows on you every time you listen to it

[@joseruppe5988]

GREAT REACTION ❤️💙😘LOVE IT GREETINGS FROM THE NETHERLANDS 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱❤️

[@robvriens1208]

Please never excuse yourself for crying...! It is the opposite of laughing, and noone ever says: sorry I laugh! Next to that thank you for your positive comments... I totally agree

[@odemnic]

So sweet to see your reaction, you went through all diffrent emotions. Love it❤

[@WatjenietzietBestaatniet]

Little bit of background on Joost. He was creative from a very young age and also a bit different. His father said that there are no boundaries and he should follow his dreams. They always watched the Eurovision Songfestival together so as a kid he replied that his dream would be to go to the Eurovision Songfestival. Then his dad passed away when he was 12 and his mother when he was 13. For inspiration and acceptance of the loss of his parents he travelled trough Europe. Therefore he sings that the pain and emptiness stayed with him no matter where he went. He paid for mental help but it did not work for him. Still he managed to be a very positive and joyful person as reflected in this song. He sings about the song Papaoutai from Stromae that is also about missing his father. In all of this he managed to combine lot's of cultural aspects of different European countries and the Netherlands. There is even a Max Verstappen reference. Without the layer of his personal life you will notice that a lot of elements can directly be related to the European countries. The young boy and the old man represent him and his father struggling trough life and his father being an example for him. The windmill is near where he spend his youth so also a trip trough memory lane to him. The final emotional scene represents him as a kid and his father when it all ended, the burning of the family photo and the building represents that you need to move on in life and not be stuck in the past. In the end he tells that he listened to his father (there are no borders for your dreams) and refers to him going to the Eurovision Songfestival. So winning would be optional, his goal was participation. It is a bit similar to the style of Little Big, a band that never participated and still has the most views on the Eurovision channel by a landslide.

[@ronpreful]

Great Reaction! There is an longer version of the outro/ last part on Joost Klein's own youtube channel.

[@siberus7688]

Im so, so curious about his live peformance. If he's able to peform live and goes into the crowd. I think he's able to win. He'll end up in the top 10. But can only be number 1 if his live peformance is as crazy as hus normal live shows. There for i've nevet ever seen a europe artist go into the crowd or even start

[@Nientje1710]

This is really the 90th with happy hardcore and gabberpop; my beautiful childhood and how special it is that Joost, who was born in 1997, brings this style back into our lives. What an artist and a performer.🙏 Truly the best of the Netherlands ever. This song is with happiness and sadness combined, that releases all kinds of different feelings in a human body.Terrific beat, terrific feelings, thank you Joost.🙏🙏🙏 This is what music is about. If this isn't going to win, than I don't know it anymore and we'd better abolish the entire Eurovision Song Contest. Love this, love Joost, with love and 12 points.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉😊😊

[@redfishswimming]

Are you from near Rotterdam? I can't place your accent. Ik ben Iers en ik vind de Nederlandse taal ontzettend mooi, vooral in dit nummer. De zin "en toch doet het pijn" doet iets met mij.

[@martinromijn842]

Greetz from Assen, Netherlands. Best song in Years. Joost Klein ❤❤❤ 🇱🇺🇱🇺🇱🇺

[@Salmiak]

Crying is not annoying at all, it's very healthy. ❤

[@dagenvanpatje]

And human to cry💪

[@petermaardananders6803]

This is fabulous, I gave up on the UVSC 3 years ago but Joost makes me want to watch it again. This work of art has it all, it makes you laugh, it makes you wanna move to the groove, and it is a great message, so many typical Dutch referrals / hidden gems, it gives me Chickenskin (Goosebumps) and it made me cry. I have found out how great Joost is because of this piece of art, I did not even know about him before he was on the Avondshow with Arjen Lubach not so long ago. My initial 1st impression was ""what a nutter"", but that soon changed finding out his backstory and hearing this art for the 1st time. Now I am backtracing his artwork and am amazed at how great of an artist he actually is, and me being no spring chicken anymore at 58 and counting he achieved to impress me, and I'm not easily impressed. Joost is a revelation, wow!! Joost lost his dad to cancer when he was a teenager +/- 13 years old, and his mother died from a heart attack a year later. ""Those who laugh the brightest most always have the heaviest loads they carry around, where ever they travel that backpack of experiences is always there, they can't escape from that, be as free a spirit as you can be, respect your elders, don't waste your time, and an ode to his dad credo""borders are stupid"", and Ubuntu(*)"" This sums up Europapa (papa is Dutch for Daddy) for me, it is true Art and a masterpiece by Joost (Joast) Klein (kline). (*) Ubuntu (Xhosa(a South African tribe language) for "we are all as one"") is the most prolific, important, eye-opening, life-changing word I have learned in my 58 years of being an earthling. Ubuntu to you, fellow earthling :) Btw Klein means small in Dutch. Joost Klein, dream big

[@rachelve7994]

Dont be sorry! Its a beautiful thing, you just show youre emotions ❤ from The Netherlands

[@Nubby_Noobster]

I love the song even if I don't understand the language

[@dagenvanpatje]

information joost klein : song is Ode to father The song is an ode to Joost's father. In the song Joost tells the listener that there are no limits if you want to make your dreams come true and tell your story. He also says this about it. Europapa is about an orphan who travels across Europe (and beyond) to find himself and tell his story. At first people don't recognize him, but he takes every chance he gets to show himself. Europapa is a tribute to my father. When he raised me, he passed on to me an expansive view of the world. He also wants to say something about his act. The Eurovision Song Contest performance will be an experience in which everything turns from sadness to elation. When people see my act, their first reaction should be, "What's going on here?"' but only to find that they are moved. An invitation to dive deeper. At first glance it seems like a very happy act, but behind it lies blood, sweat and tears

[@Nubby_Noobster]

@@dagenvanpatje wow

[@ageethvanos]

Happy hardcore!!!❤️

[@msbluejayway]

Writing songs that seem happy and have a party vibe, but are textually kind of dark and sad is I think Joost' method of dealing with his trauma.

[@johannesnicolaas]

And yes, we have a winner!!

Thank you for your reaction. There is a longer version of the outro on Spotify and Joost Klein's own KZbin page. 12 points to The Netherlands. The winner of the Eurovision Songcontest 2024. This is a masterpiece. Euro papa= Euro dad, because papa is dad in Dutch. A sad song with lyrics with a meaning, with a message, in a happy hardcore melody. A letter to his father who died when he was a 12 year old child. His mother past away a year later. He promised his father that he will be someday on the Eurovision Songcontest stage. His father told him that it is possible because there are no borders between the countries, and no limits to follow his dream. Borders and limitations are made by human. In every country he went, he felt the pain and grief of no having his parents. The fire symbolise letting go of the grief and pain, and the start of a new chapter in his live.

[@harrywarnshuis8738]

First place is the conclusion ❤❤

[@ElmaBassa]

The last bit is happy hardcore/hardstyle I guess

[@realtalk675]

Yes

[@mariantalma1250]

❤ thanks

[@kevintje25]

The style is called happy hardcore in the 90's . but I don't think this is quite the same, if I had to give it a name it would be more like gabber pop

[@quintydubbelaar1514]

It is S10 at the table! And some other “famous” people from the Netherlands

[@jelle_smid]

As a 90's teen this brings a lot of emotions back to an amazing time, especially for northern europe. Germany unified, no more cold war and the hardcore / rave scene gave everything a teenager could dream of. Thunderdome or Raveparade anybody? But the strongest part of this video seems to get lost in all the reactions: a voice against all the right wing anti-europe movements. Europe was one and should stay one. Open, no borders and one voice against external dangers.

[@peterelfrink7573]

Ik zeg, 12 punten voor de Netherlands ❤
